Emil Shomberg, for some time supposed
to be the partner of John F. Betz, the mill
ionaire brewer, is missing, The statement is
made that he is a forger to large amount.
When the Germans brewery was projected
Shomserg took Sl25 900 worth of the stock
He borrowed the money from several banks
giving as security variety paper.
Ii has since transpired that the signatures
and endorsements upon some of the papers
are forgeries.
The names of Betz and S. X. Nestor of
Geneva, were attached without their consent.
The banks that made the first advance were
also victims. Forged paper was found in
several other banks.
Brewer Yuengling of New York, f. F
Pouterer and David w. Stewart were among
those that Shomberg feeeed. Now and then
new creditor turns up, and there may be
others. Shomberg's indebtedness is abou,
100000.
Betz's loss is $50, ,000 besides he is liable
for $4,000 with large incompleted theatre

actually nothing.

$4,000, Pouterer $1,000. Brewer Yuengling
about $4,000.
The svsilabla assets are Shomberg's house

Champagne, which is entirely non-slcoholic,
and delicious in taste and favor, is certpin
to meet with great popularity. The basis Of
the Lactart Champagne is the celebrated
Lactart, and it Is not to much TO say, that q
pleasaoter beverage than this has never been

The department OF fisheries of Ottawa have

the American fishing schooner with loss of
the entire crew off Buctouche, N. B. and ex-
presses entire disbelief in the report.

The Deputy of State at Washington has

Canadian cruiser and the report is discred.
tied.
HALIFAX, N. S., Aug. 10.
There is no confirmation here of the report
that Canadian cruiser red upon and sank
an American fisherman off Buctouche with
the loss of all on board. Many kilograms
OF inquiry were sent to Buctouche.
1t has been learned positively that reports
of gun were heard off Buctouche harbor
some days ago, between eight and nine
O'Clock in the forenoon. The story goes that
a man came to the village from the shore and
reported that an unknown Dominion fishery
cruiser had dismantled and sunk an Ameri.
can fishing vessel, which went down with
every soul on board. The whole story is
discredited.
1t is also rumored that there was another
United States fisherman in the vicinity at the
time, and alter she had sunk one the cruiser
gave chase to the other.
Commander Scott said this afternoon that
il might be very easy for a six pound shot
from a cruiser to sink schooner but if such
an event did happen the fishery department
would have received particulars at once
There were few fish in the water off Buc-
touche but not sufficient to take Americans
into those waters.
